I agree with Art B, it is a sign of the times.  I think that older units probably were better built even if they don't have so many features.  IMO manufacturers of tin tents and folding campers are havng to build to a budget because of competion.  Consider the number of manufacturers that have gone out of business in the last year despite the fact that sales should be good!

I was not impressed by the standard of low voltage wiring on our outfit but was shocked at the cost when I improved it even though I bought the materials from wholesaler. 

We also suffered from broken nylon seat hinges after only 3 seasons use.  Because I could see that it would be a regular problem I replaced them with continuous hinge which costs very little more.

having had a little moan, we are very please with the concept and use of our camper.

A friend replaced their older caravan for a brand new model but has regretted it since because of the build quality of the new van. It's such a shame as a lot of people get into camping and caravanning by buying older kit.  If everything is so poorly built these days future generations won't have older starter units to buy as they will all be on the scrap heap.
